Article Abstract
A digital workflow for fabricating a polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) periodontal splint is described. The antibacterial properties of PEKK and the precision and efficiency of digital technology led to the provision of a splint with no adverse effects on oral hygiene or periodontal maintenance during a 2-year follow-up.

Background: Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer with unique structural and mechanical properties that make it a promising candidate for surface modification of dental implants. This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of PEKK for this purpose using the Cambridge Serial Total Energy Package (CASTEP) code based on density functional theory (DFT).
Methods: This study examined the ground state energy, structural properties, thermodynamic behavior, cohesive energy, refractive index, stress analysis, mechanical properties, and anisotropic behavior of PEKK.

Background: High-performance polymers are used in different fixed prosthesis treatments due to their many advantages such as biocompatibility, shock absorption ability, high fracture resistance. The effects of marginal design on the forces on high-performance polymers are unknown. This study aimed was to investigate the stress distribution of different marginal designs on Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) substructure materials, cortical bone and cancellous bone by finite element analysis.

Background: Restorative materials might significantly affect load transmission in peri-implant bone. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the shock absorption capacity of two different polymeric materials to be used for implant-supported prostheses.
Methods: A masticatory robot was used to compare the shock absorption capacity of veneered and non-veneered polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), Pekktonivory (Cendres+Mètaux), and the glass fiber-reinforced composite (GFRC), TRINIA (Bicon).

Article Synopsis
- Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) is a strong thermoplastic material with properties similar to bone, making it attractive for biomedical applications, especially in tissue engineering.
- Researchers utilized 3D printing to create porous PEKK scaffolds with various pore sizes, determining that a specific pore size (P600) optimized both mechanical properties and bone growth potential.
- To enhance the scaffolds' compatibility with biological systems, hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals were applied through a biomimetic technique, resulting in highly porous and functional surfaces that support bone regeneration and may lead to innovative methods for customized orthopedic implants.
Purpose: To evaluate the stress distribution along a premolar's root dentin, its post, and its post-luting agent when materials with different elastic moduli are used to fabricate one-piece post-and-cores in two different designs.
Materials And Methods: Two 3D virtual models (for cylindrical and conical post designs) of a mandibular premolar restored with one-piece post-and-core restorations were obtained using a software. A total of eight post-and-core materials were tested: polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), glass fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (GFR-PEEK), carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK), gold-palladium alloy (Au-Pd), titanium (Ti), zirconia (Zi), and chromium-nickel (Cr-Ni).
